Hello everyone, I was just searching for a new home, some place to fit in.. I am a 55 year old TG girl, I have been on HRT (herbal) for 5months, and I guess I am well into my transition, in body and mind. Well, that's not really true.. My mind was nearly always female from a very young age. 5' 10", 153lbs, blonde(now), hazel eyes. I'm married, it will be 30 years in Dec, to a wonderful wife, and we have two grown girls.. even my dog is female. Unfortunately, no one, other than my sister (9 years younger) knows.. I just cant say anything yet.. and the family has not put any of my changes together.. they suspect something, but not sure what, wife thinks I am just going thru mid-life crisis, want to recapture my youth.. I know I will come out before too long as I can not wear t-shirts anymore, and living in AZ, in the summer, that is a necessity.
My career.. well.. I am in the airlines, I will leave it at that for now. We have one other TG employee in my group that fully transitioned several years ago.. I will have to talk to her soon to ask about her journey. The girls in the back are always wonderful to me, I treat them like my sisters, and they are always sisterly to me too, I think because I am not in male "predator" mode. I genuinely listen, smile, feel, empathize, speak and think like a woman. I am just finally beginning to look like one, well, from the neck down. I got a more femme haircut that I like, so it helps both my mind, and my eye. There is really no way I could pass now, facially, (no makeup) but electrolysis is on the near horizon which should help a great deal. I am just trying to find a place to feel at home, a place to fit in.
Have I thought of what my family will say? My immediate family? Yes, somewhat. My extended? Mom? Uncles, aunts, cousins.. no.. but I have two close cousins that are lesbian, so, the "ground work" has been laid in the family. My friends? If they are true friends, they will accept. If they do not, then they never were to begin with. My co-workers? Talk has been around already about the one girl in my work group for some time. I feel for her. I worked with her, a few times before her transition. She did not not speak of it then, but I will, in time, talk with her.. not for my own support, but for our support. This will be a bit of a longer transition, over several years, so I am able to keep things under wraps for a while longer. My church? There is going to be a problem. But God loves what is inside the heart, not what is on the body.
